Picture the scene… I can just hear Stacey’s dulcet tones now;
‘Ere Rex, be a good boy for mummy and lie down beside Rose and give her a cuddle, gently mind, GENTLE…’
Rex, delighted to be given some attention from the woman who, although once considered him an object of worship, now is at best indifferent as she has a little baby daughter to focus on, is of course more than delighted to do whatever his mother asks and so lies down with Rose, gently…
‘Good boy Rex, now we’re gonna play a game, you have to pretend to be asleep like Rose whilst mummy takes your photo! Isn’t that a good game?’
Rex, again delighted to be included squeals ‘yes, mummy!’
*SNAP, SNAP, SNAP*
‘Right, well done Rex, that was very good, now why don’t you go and find daddy whilst mummy has some important things to do with baby Rose.’
A dejected looking Rex slowly trudges out of the room looking for his Dad.
Stacey picks Rose up, snuggles her into her and prepares to spend the next four hours just staring… and staring… and stari… well, you get the idea!!

These photo opportunities really are just too staged and obvious and it doesn’t take Einstein to be able to read her like a book; which in itself I find quite ironic given that she probably doesn’t read books very often at all!!
